Pick any living organism, it doesn’t matter what it is, it can be common or rare and weird. It can be plant, animal, fungi, protista, or bacteria (ex. naked mole rats, ground pangolin, redwood tree, Psilocybin mushroom, Harpy eagle, murder hornets, star nose mole, salt water crocodile, etc.)

Describe what makes this organism unique, interesting, or weird. Think about 1 to 2 paragraphs.

What evolutionary adaptations does this organism have that has made it success?

You can use any resources from the internet, class work, or personal experiences but the idea is to concisely explain how this organism has adapted to the world around it and why you think it is interesting.
